Apparently Matulino to the tigers is a done deal.

We are getting rejected by over the hill players now.

I don't think any amount of money will get anyone here

I can't see Hodkinson being dropped unless he is physically unable to play - current struggle aside.
If he chooses to end it all the better.
I'd like to see him gone now but the reality is that Brown is sticking with him.
I reckon we have no hope with Foran - disinterested and we'll be too far away for him to be close to his kids.
Who does that leave us with?

If Foran goes to the Dogs something has to give. Throw a bit of cash at young Frawley and/or Reynolds.

Toohey mentioned on twitter that the knights have not made matulino an offer as they are looking into the medical reports of his injured knees. If they turned out favourable then they might make him an offer. Hardly what i call being rejected. I admire their cautious approach after being stone and hages were stung by hodkinsons knees.

Marulino and Cleary have history so not surprised. Not that worried either he was always going to be a gamble with those knees. Move on to the next one.

Still think Ryan Hoffman would be handy.

Hoffman is still playing good football wouldn't mind him. No to Reynolds, he's a dumber version of Kurt Gidley and that's saying something. Plus the shit he magically gets away with at Canterbury will get him suspended every 2nd game if he's playing for us.

I'd be taking Buhrer over Hoffman any day of the week. Where does Sione go if Hoffman comes?
Bench, where most forwards his age are. Won't kill him to spend a year or 2 working on his game and playing second fiddle. He does so many good things, but his errors have let him down lately, and his reads and decision making in D has a while to go yet. Just get him to work on the quality of his play without worrying about playing huge minutes, then work him back in over time. He's way too good for Cup, and always puts in.

I'm not massive on Hoffman tbh, we don't really need to fix the back row, but I guess it's a bit of take what you can get.

I'm not too bothered about Matulino, we hadn't made him an offer yet anyway and maybe he was quick to sign a deal with Tigers because he didn't want to wait and gamble if the medical report wasn't good. Makes sense from his perspective to sign with a club quickly if that's the situation.

Is Hoffman too small to try in the middle?

Hoffman is one of those rare Storm players who's actually playing well outside of their system.

Wouldn't say no, but wouldn't move heaven and earth for him

Man... if we went all in at all these players and all we end up with is SKD that would be disappointing...

If the dogs get Foran they will have to cut some players. We need to be ready to swoop...
